what a load of sh*te,imho of course

i can't slap to save my life but i can't stand that style anyway (no offence to anybody intended) so thats a no no,but i've noticed all the shop assistants in the world think they're slap masters.so i'll play pretty much whatever comes to mind,altough i nearly always play "Phantom of the Opera" at some point.
when i tried my deluxe p bass i lost a whole hour,i've no idea what i was playing but i walked out of the shop a grand lighter but with the best bass i ever played.

[quote name='Apex' post='387890' date='Jan 21 2009, 08:18 PM']Thanks for your views, Soulfinger - even if they do add to my confusion. What style(s) do you play?[/quote]

not exactly the same i know but i have a cube30 that i use for home practice & quiet band rehersal,i think is a fantastic bit of kit,sounds good too.
i play blues/rock & use P & J basses & it sounds great,in fact if it was a bit louder i'd happily use it for smaller gigs.

i agree it's a total rip off but if i was to win euromillions tomorrow i'd buy anyway,but lets face it that aint going to happen.

i spotted this little beauty today

taking offers over £28,000.00 but if i could i would
oh why can't i win the sodding lottery

it is but ooooohhhhh its nice

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='387621' date='Jan 21 2009, 04:34 PM']I just like new things basically, I will admit I buy to make myself happy for 5 minutes before the remorse kicks in.[/quote]

hammer----nail----head

there's no better feeling than getting a new bass home for the first time,for me anyhow,coupled to the fact i just love looking at basses.
also i'm very impulsive,i can be reading a book which has a photo of say a really nice Jazz/Precision & i just have to have one like it,can't help myself.
i know it won't make me a better player but what the hell I NEED IT.

i bought one just before christmas,amber/maple & it's the best bass i've played in the last 30 years period.
it's absolutley awesome in all respects,infact it feels like it was custom built just for me-if you know what i mean.
build quality is second to none & an awesome variety of very usable tones, i love it.
get it bought

i owned a black one & have to say it was a really nice bass,the only downside for me was the preamp-i just couldn't get "that" sound from it,but i am a fussy old blues fart.
i should think it will excel in a rock/punk type of band,but they do look cool don't they.

that Jazz is beautiful

my band have supported 9 Below Zero 3 times & really enjoyed it.
Gerry was a top bloke on all occasions but i have to say that on those same 3 occasions that Dennis was a total arrogant prick.
shame really as my brother/guitarist used to be a fan-but alas no longer.

i just bought Clarky's ( & my old) 2007 Jazz bass.
chuffed to bits with the bass it's a minter just as Clarky said it was.
really nice guy to deal with & very fast(i.e. next day)delivery.
all in all Clarky is a top bloke,hell i'd even trust him with my wifes chastity belt key

Neil.

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='383754' date='Jan 18 2009, 11:08 AM']i was very tempted to have this one back myself!! what a bass ey!!

you're right there Chris,i nearly bought it back off you when you sold it on but didn't have the cash then.

it looks really cool with its new pickups on methinks.

[quote name='Clarky' post='383452' date='Jan 17 2009, 07:20 PM']Well if Parcelforce don't screw up (!), you should have your new toy on Tuesday
